Manley Performance has added two new part numbers to their already formidable arsenal of NexTek Series valvesprings specifically designed for Chevy LS applications. The first, PN 221421-16, is a high performance, fully polished double (no damper), hydraulic roller capable of handling 0.800-inch lift! The second, PN 221422-16, is a 0.780-inch lift max. Solid-roller. These are also doubles, without dampers, but come with Manley's special "super finished" process to enhance fatigue life. Both springs were designed with targeted installed and open pressures and ideal spring rates in mind for these applications. Manley Performance has also manufactured the correctly matching retainers and locators to ensure proper fitment.

The Muscle Rods Coil Relocation Kit alleviates the problem of the rear coils hitting the power brake booster or air conditioning box when swapping the LS engines into early vehicles. The Muscle Rods relocation brackets are CNC manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminum and then vibratory polished for a great appearance. It relocates the rear coil 3-inches to provide adequate clearance for power brake boosters and air conditioning. Each coil relocation kit includes all necessary hardware along with a longer spark plug wire. Installation is easy, the brackets bolt to the valve cover using existing mounting holes on the factory valve covers (as well as most aftermarket valve covers that utilize factory coil bracket mounting holes). The coil relocation kits are available for the driver's side and passenger separately or can be purchased together to clear both or just to add symmetry to your installation.

Revolutionary GM Gen V Camshafts (LT1/L83/L86) from COMP Cams are designed to work with the direct injection (DI), variable valve timing (VVT) and Active Fuel Management (AFM) lifters featured in GM's new Gen V V-8 engine. This means that these new XFI series hydraulic-roller cams allow users to leverage the OE technology for performance gains. Gen V Cams feature four different lobe profiles to not only allow AFM-lifter compatibility, but also to optimize intake and exhaust valve opening/closing events. COMP Cams GM Gen V Camshafts also increase torque and power throughout the entire RPM range, while providing excellent responsiveness and mid-range power over stock for across-the-board gains. The cams require the COMP Phaser Limiter Kit (PN 5456), which limits the range of camshaft movement from 62 to 22 crank degrees, thus requiring VVT program tuning. COMP Cams® GM Gen V Camshafts are available for stock to highly modified applications. Options for use include the 2014 and newer C7 Corvette, Chevy SS, Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra, along with the 2015 editions of the Cadillac Escalade, Chevy Suburban/Tahoe and GMC Yukon/Yukon XL. The smaller cams are an ideal choice for L83and L86 truck engines, while the larger versions are perfect for high performance LT1 applications. AFM-delete custom grind versions are also available.

These halogen headlamps utilize modern H4 bulbs, are twice as bright as the original sealed beam unit, and will last significantly longer.

These are available in both 5.75- and 7-inch and will fit most muscle cars from the '60s through the '80s. You also have the option of getting them clear or with a variety of center dot colors.
